6″ Crown Tread Red Polyurethane on Iron Wheel – Kingless Swivel G15 Caster

FAQ

What is the Plate Caster Model G15 with PCI Crown Tread Polyurethane on Cast Iron Core Wheel, and what’s it used for?

The Plate Caster Model G15 with PCI Crown Tread Polyurethane on Cast Iron Core Wheel is a kingpinless industrial caster shipped from Texas, Ohio, or Washington, designed for robust performance with a capacity of up to 2,500 lbs per caster, suitable for both manually moved and mechanically powered equipment. It features a precision machined swivel bearing with a heat-treated raceway and no center pin, ensuring easier swiveling, reduced vibration, and longer trouble-free performance. The caster includes a zinc-plated steel frame (with a stainless steel option that is NSF and ROHS compliant), 1/4″ thick legs welded inside and out, a 1/2″ diameter axle with a locking nut, and grease fittings for all moveable parts to facilitate maintenance. It supports a top plate of 4″ x 4-1/2″ with 3/8″ mounting bolts, accommodating 2″ wide “PCI” wheels in 4”, 5”, 6”, and 8” diameters with overall heights of 4” x 2” = 6”, 5” x 2” = 7”, 6” x 2” = 8”, and 8” x 2” = 10”. The “PCI” wheel’s Flex Compound polyurethane elastomer (85 Shore A durometer), chemically bonded to a heavy cast iron core, provides a semi-cushioned ride, excellent floor protection, and a crown tread that reduces surface friction for easier turns and rolling effort. It’s ideal for material handling carts, warehouse equipment, and other industrial settings requiring a durable, low-effort solution.
